Machine-breaking
Nothing more than a dictdef. Not expandable, as any encyclopedic information here can go into Luddite. &mdash;Lowellian (talk) 10:53, July 17, 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete for reasons given above. &mdash;Lowellian (talk) 10:53, July 17, 2005 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Luddite, as the term is a well established one, although as people rightly point out it is reasonably dealt with under that article. PatGallacher 11:54, 2005 July 17 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Luddite, as above. Transwiki definition to Wiktionary if appropriate. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) 11:56, 17 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete; I don't think a redirect makes sense in this context. Transwiking to Wiktionary would make sense. Nandesuka 17:59, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Luddite; as far as I know, this isn't particularly an "English word" any more than "iPod-breaking" or "desk-breaking" might be, so I wouldn't bring Wiktionary into it. Dcarrano 18:51, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect for now though I suspect a separate article may be on the horizon: the machine breakers of the 1830s were a separate movement from the Luddites. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px| ]] 22:15, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Nandesuka. JamesBurns 08:37, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, expandable and separate from "Luddite", as Francs2000 points out. Kappa 11:47, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect Either delete or redirect to Technophobia as this is too specific.
